Tara and I took one of our new friends up Arthur's Seat. We had lunch in BBL, then I went to Prewired to judge the make-a-thon. Tara helped.

Tara and I took the tram to Newhaven, and Tara made some new friends. We all went for a walk around Newhaven, then to Leith Market. It was periodically raining torrentially, but we managed to stop in Face Plant Food for a mac n cheese sandwich.
I dropped our new friends at various different points around Edinburgh, then found myself in the neighbourhood for Prewired, where I knew a small make-a-thon was ongoing, so I dropped in to say hi. I subsequently got roped in as a judge for the next day.

The day after a long walk, Tara wasn't up for going anywhere. Which was fortunate, as I had meetings all day. We did manage to get to the Meadows Tap in the evening though.

Tara and I had a lazy morning, lunch at Curran Geal, then missed the bus to Cramond. So we walked all the way from Bruntsfield to Cramond Island, via the causeway. It was great! We did not get trapped by the sea. I only had to fight Tara to stop her from eating disgusting things several times. There were also lots of revolting things to roll in.
We walked to Silverknowes, then caught a bus back into town. Met K at Holy Cow for dinner, then walked home.

A day in Porty for R's first day at the co-op, featuring pizza on the beach. Then finally reunited with Tara, for a week of Taradventures.

Max injured his foot, probably on some glass. So his camping trip was cancelled, and he spent the weekend convalescing with me instead. We kept walkies to a minimum, and lounged around a lot, which is Max's least favourite activity. He was very sweet and loving once he got used to the idea though, especially when I was re-bandaging his foot.
He got really good at sitting quietly on the beach with me at dawn, and not trying to dash into the sea, managing to constrain himself to gazing intensely and longingly at it instead.

My last day with Tara - lunch at Curran Geal with F.
Then I returned two days later for a night before an early train. An evening walk with Tara's mad family. This is the first time I managed to get a photo of them that wasn't a blur.

A long walk along the Water of Leith, with a detour to Green Bite Cafe. Tara made many friends, and frolicked in the water. At Leith Market, we met M and Lowenna. I bought much vegan cheese and not-pork pies (from Earthy and Kama) then we had more lunch in the Sly Fox. Tara and Lowenna bring their own special blend of chaos, sweetness, and antagonism to any outings.
We walked along the Water of Leith some more, then sat in a dog-filled park for a while as Lowenna joined a pack. Tara was bemused by all of the bigger dogs running around, and settled for guarding our perimeter and asserting her boundaries with yaps.

I was at work, and Tara was refusing to get up most of the day. We did manage a frolic with a big stick on Bruntsfield Links, and a nice lunch at Curran Geal.
